  • R O/'^V^Y RECOLLECTIONS of a LONG LIFE by JOSEPH
    /r O/'^v^y RECOLLECTIONS OF A LONG LIFE BY JOSEPH PACKARD, D. D. 18121902 EDITED BY REV. THOMAS J. PACKARD V Washington, D. C. BYRON S. ADAMS, PUBLISHER 1902 Copyrighted 1902 Thomas J. Packard lb"** *j3 TO MY SISTER, CORNELIA J. PACKARD , WHOSE FILIAL CARE SOOTHED AND SUSTAINED OUR FATHER'S LATER YEARS THIS VOLUME IS DEDICATED. PREFACE. My father felt a deep interest in biography, but was persuaded that it should be confined within narrow limits. He thought that, as Dean Burgon said, while yet the man lived freshly in the memory of his friends, while his sayings were remembered, and his aspect and demeanor were easily recalled, then one who knew him well should commit to paper a living image of the man, should so exhibit him that later generations might feel that they had seen and known him. Many of the world's good men have no personal memorial because this was not done. I have not attempted a complete biography of my father, but I aided him in preparing for the press these Recollections of a Long Life, which in part were published in the Protestant Epis copal Review about six years ago. Subsequent conversations have added more material, and the entire work has been carefully examined and reedited. His published discourses and the admirable sketch of the Alumni by Dr. Dalrymple have also been used. His life and work touched many other lives, therefore these recollections have a wider interest than for his family alone. I trust they may preserve his person and memory from oblivion.

Last Updated: 06-11-2004 CAPSULE SUMMARY Ogle Hall (AA-530) 247 King George Street The imposing building at 247 King George Street was erected between 1739 and 1742 for the family of Dr. William Stephenson. By 1747, the large dwelling was leased by owner Daniel Cheston to Maryland Governor Samuel Ogle, who utilized the building as the Governor's Mansion when in residence. In June 1773, Anne Ogle transferred the property, which included the main dwelling house, gardens, kitchen, and other dependencies, to her son, Benjamin Ogle. Ogle, who also served as governor of Maryland (1798-1801), was responsible for the 1775-1776 alterations to the dwelling.
